• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS111 - Data element has different data types: local &1, remote &2 ?

  The SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS111 indicates that there is a mismatch in data types between a local data element and a remote data element. This typically occurs in scenarios involving remote function calls (RFC), where the data types of parameters do not match between the calling and called systems.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A data element in the local system has a different data type than the corresponding data element in the remote system.
  This can happen due to differences in the definitions of data elements, such as length, type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, etc.), or other attributes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Data Elements: Check the error message for the specific data elements involved (local &1 and remote &2). This will help you identify which data elements are causing the conflict.
  
  
  Compare Data Element Definitions:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) in both the local and remote systems.
  Compare the definitions of the data elements. Look for differences in:
  
  Data type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, etc.)
  Length
  Decimal places (for numeric types)
  Other attributes (like whether it is a key field, etc.)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Data Element: If you have control over the data element definitions:
  
  Adjust the local or remote data element to ensure they match. This may involve changing the data type, length, or other attributes to make them consistent.
  
  
  
  Use a Compatible Data Type: If you cannot change the data elements directly, consider creating a new data element or structure that is compatible with both systems and use that in your RFC calls.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the RFC call again to ensure that the error is resolved.

  Transport Requests: If changes are made in the development environment, ensure that they are transported to the appropriate systems (e.g., quality assurance, production) as needed.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Always back up your configurations before making changes.
  Document any changes made for future reference and for other team members.
  If you are unsure about making changes, consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for guidance.
